Total Watts

  1. Nice amp! Always wanted to get my hands on a TE amp but they are pretty rare where I am in Canda. I barely ever see them.
  2. Love all Traynor gear! I own a YBA200-2 bass head and a TC410 neo cab. Other than my one Ampeg amp I'm all Traynor at the moment lol. But the bassmaster is definitely special and has serious mojo. I'd definitely suggest it to anyone who has a chance to snag one.
  3. Hey guys picked up a '67 bassmaster mark II and man am I impressed with this thing! It was just re cap'd, re tubed and the output transformer was re built. Everything is original (except for the capacitors). For a 90 watt amp this thing is loud as hell and when you patch the 2 channels together you can get some pretty awesome overdriven tube distortion. Anyways here's some pics of the bad boy.
  4. My current set up. Traynor YBA200-2 paired with A Traynor TC410 NEO cab. Bass's 1978 Music man stingray and Fender Jag.
  5. [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1437818664' post='2829243'] Not sure about 30 year old speakers tbh... I've been through plenty of ragged 810's and the most polite thing you could say about them is that they sounded somewhat 'tired'.. Where has the cab beed stored..what sort of playing life has it had. Old chassis ..and especially the cheaper ones, were pretty poor to start with... that is why premium brands like JBL, EV, Gauss, got the reputations they did. I'd be interested in the JBL and EV cabs, but not the stock units... You may possibly be able to recone JBL and EV today pretty easily..not so sure about the stock ones..and also..why would you bother..?? The old Ampeg 10's..Marshall 15's etc etc were very low powered and IMO, par for the day.. but those units have been massively been overtaken by recent tech.. [/quote] I was pretty shocked actually. For 37 year old speakers they sounded pretty good. It's almost like the cab just sat in a jam room or basement for years with no use as the cab and speakers were in amazing shape for being that old. The tolex is almost perfect, no dings in the wood... the only wear is faded color on the grill cloth. I popped out the original speakers and put in two [url="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/r.html?C=28VHL5UCHS8OH&K=A1X8BLZL4C1OPB&R=2EV3TGN2QJGYF&T=C&U=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.ca%2Fdp%2FB0002Z243Y%2Fref%3Dpe_386430_126088100_TE_item&A=YCVFGZVPPVHRCDOMJ1BYFQN2PYWA&H=CJYI3T6H0VCFMNQJ4GMHHM2VQ8AA&ref_=pe_386430_126088100_TE_item"][color=#000000]Eminence BETA15A[/color][/url]'s just so It could handle my higher wattage heads. I am very impressed with the workmanship on the cab though. It will out last any of my newer cabs thats for sure.
  6. [quote name='Jus Lukin' timestamp='1437815252' post='2829205'] The closest I get to vintage gear is are a Boss OC-2 and CE-2. There is something about the ol' Black/Silverface Fender Bassman which really does it for me though. I've never had the chance to play through one of the classic shallow 2x15's, and have heard nothing but bad things, but they are also cool as anything! [/quote] I was a little iffy about buying the shallow 215 as I have never played through one before and I bought it online without trying it lol. But had to have it and it sounds amazing! The low end it produces is insane and my highs are clean as well. It has the classic Ampeg tone and is built to last a couple life times. It's in better shape than my newer cabs lol.
  7. Hey guys what's up. I love vintage bass gear. Everything back in the 50's, 60's and 70's was just built better and looked cooler lol. Plus the tone you can't beat. My current rig is an early '70's Ampeg BT-25 bass head going through a 1978 Ampeg B25-B 215 bass cab. I also own a early 1970's Northern Pbass and a Fender Jazz.
